2015 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

I would be VERY surprised if a “Darwin” isn’t coming his way in short order.

This man knows how to put on a firework show – by making a Roman candle mini-gun and becoming part of the main attraction. The incredible pyrotechnic display was captured on camera in what is believed to be North America, and featured the showman propelling fireworks into the sky via barrels attached to his arms. The subsequent video was posted to the iZHarms YouTube channel, where it has been viewed nearly 200,000 times.

After lighting the Roman candles with a blow torch, the man began shooting fireworks into the sky

After lighting the fuses with a blow torch, the man is filmed firing the pyrotechnic stars at the trees while his friends cheer in delight. He appears to wear a harness on his back, which is attached to the two barrels, to provide him with a level of support while firing. He holds onto the two large canisters with a home-made handle attached to the top. A lot of smoke rises into the sky as hundreds of small fireworks fly from the barrels and illuminate the area with red and orange light. Later in the video the man runs towards the trees as the fireworks continue to propel from the canisters. He then points the barrels down and shoots a number of them along the ground. The clip concludes with the man turning towards his friends filming and shooting pyrotechnic stars over their heads before the fireworks run out and he celebrates.

This dolt is lucky none of the fireworks exploded in the canisters that were strapped to his arm. Unbelievable...
